Turandot Pear
Italy
Quince BA29, Seedling
Early July
This is a new high-quality early summer Italian pear variety obtained by crossing Dr. Jules Guyot × Bella di Giugno (June Beauty). It was bred by L. Rivolta at the Fruit Research Institute in Forlì. Currently, it is considered one of the best early pear varieties. The fruits store well in cold rooms and are highly resistant to transport.
The flesh is firm, juicy, and very pleasantly flavored.
The fruit is of medium size (average weight between 140 and 180 grams), pear-shaped, with a greenish-yellow skin and a red blush on the sun-exposed side. Overall, the fruit is highly attractive and visually appealing. When ripe, the fruit does not quickly become mealy, which is often typical of early summer varieties, and can be stored in cold storage for up to one month.
Tosca.
In studies where infection with fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) was tested, the variety did not show resistance.
You can purchase seedlings of Pear Turandot at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
